On any old night, the Green Dolphin Jazz Restaurant attracts some of the best mainstream jazz musicians in the country, as well as a few from overseas. The cover charge is R30–R35. It's open nightly from 8:15 pm to midnight.

A traditional Scottish Pub outside the main mall, you can kick back and have a beer or two from a wide selection of brews. There's also a small food menu of burgers, pizza and other pub food. Occasional karaoke nights take place. 

A proudly Southern African craft beer brewery, this venue has great beer, music, food, and vibes. Inspired by the history of African beer, the Ukhamba husband-and-wife team wanted to create a beer brand that celebrates that heritage. There's occasional live music, DJs, and events.
